You have to give this Arkansas team credit for not backing down or giving in.
But it cannot continue to play its way into double-digit deficits then decide to make a run and expend a great deal of energy clawing back, especially with a short-handed roster. That has now happened to the Razorbacks in consecutive games.
Arkansas was essentially down two players against the Gators, too, as sophomore forward Reggie Chaney played only five minutes and was passed over in favor of Jeantal Cylla and Ethan Henderson, who drew his first career start.
The Razorbacks simply ran out of gas against a much quicker, more athletic Florida team.
